morrigirlThis makes me furious.
I was the recipient of RIF books when I was in elementary school. I loved walking into the library and seeing all these free books displayed on the tables, and being able to go through and pick the one I wanted to take home with me.
It's not really surprising though. Illiteracy certainly didn't stop Dubya from ascending to the highest political office in the free world, so obviously the ability and desire to read isn't THAT important.
